Unleash the Beast, Saxon's thirteenth studio album, originally came out in 1997 and was the first to feature guitarist Doug Scarratt. The band went for a heavier, darker tone than on the work before it: the instrumental 'Gothic Dreams' runs straight into the title track, and 'Terminal Velocity', 'The Preacher' and 'Circle of Light' form the core. In those years Saxon's most loyal audience was on the European mainland, with Germany as its main market.

This edition is an LP on red 180-gram vinyl, numbered and limited to 1,500 copies.
